Mike Cutler claims the cancerous cells in his liver disappeared after he began taking home-made cannabis oil.

Mike Cutler, 63, was diagnosed in 2009 and was given a transplant in November the same year. He was given the all-clear but says the disease came back in late 2012 attacking the new organ he had been given. Out of desperation to survive he began researching online for alternative cures, this is where he found a YouTube video which described the use of cannabis oil as a cure. Cutler has said that just three days after taking the class B drug, his excruciating pain disappeared. In May this year, the grandfather-of-nine went for a biopsy at the Royal Free Hospital in London. Doctors confirmed that the new cancerous cells in his liver had vanished. A spokeswoman for the Royal Free Hospital confirmed Mr Cutler had not received any cancer treatment since his transplant in November 2009. Cutler is a retired builder from Hastings, East Sussex, England. He said, “finding out I could die was terrible. All I had in those dark days was my laptop, and that’s when I began searching for something else that could help me – I couldn’t accept I was going to die.” He purchased the drug through a dealer and went on to cultivate his own tablets from the oil, he would take 1 capsule a day. He said that his symptoms disappeared after 3 days. When Cutler found out his was cured he said that he “was just completely shocked.” He has since began growing his own cannabis plant to keep up a ready supply of the medication. Cutler spoke at an event last week about the medical use of cannabis – together with Professor David Nutt and MP Caroline Lucas in Brighton, England. He is now campaigning for changes in the law to allow the oil and other forms of cannabis to be legally used medicinally to treat other people. Each day there is a new story confirming the magical medicinal powers of cannabis oil (i), it is time for scientists to realize the full healing potential of cannabis as a medical drug. Dr Kat Arney, Cancer Research UK’s science communications manager, said: “This could potentially lead to more effective treatments for cancer in the future, but there’s still no good data from clinical trials to show that cannabis or cannabinoids can safely and effectively treat cancer in patients at the moment.” Because of these findings a number of charities have intensified their research into the use of cannabis as a medical drug.
